Please follow the procedures in Installing a Compaq OS/2 Driver
for installing the Compaq Bios-32 helper driver. You must specify the source path as
"A:\CPQB32"
5.0 Disabling the BIOS-32 Integrated Management Log Support
Please follow the steps outlined below to remove the BIOS-32
Integrated Management
Log support from your system.
1. Modify the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of your system. You will
need to REMOVE the following line from CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=CPQB32.SYS
After the modification, the BASEDEV entry corresponding to the BIOS-32 driver
should look as follows :
REM BASEDEV=CPQB32.SYS
2. The IML support will not be active on reboot of OS/2.
If it is necessary to upgrade the Compaq 32-bit helper driver after it is already
active on the system, follow these steps:
1. Insert the OS/2 Support Software Diskette 2 labeled
"OS/2 System and Storage Drivers - 2"
in the floppy drive and follow the
installation procedure described in
Installing a Compaq OS/2 Driver.
You must specify the source path as "A:\CPQB32"
2. The next time OS/2 is started the new driver will be loaded.
